Created on January 12, 1895, Parc national du Mont-Tremblant will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2020. This large territory of 1510 km2 enjoys an international stature, being the first park created in Quebec, the third in Canada , and the sixth in North America. It is therefore part of the world history of protected areas along with Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Sequoia parks. With its six great rivers and 400 lakes and streams, it's a canoer's paradise. This wilderness is so vast that it is home to 40 mammal species, including the wolf. There is also the Via ferrata du Diable, an intermediate activity between hiking and climbing that will let you discover the park's mountains in a way you could otherwise only dream about. Parc national du Mont-Tremblant is open year-round and has something for everyone.

Hiking is a very popular activity on our territory. From a short walk to a more athletic hike, our vast network of trails will show you the real wilderness of the Laurentian Mountains. For backpackers, the network has over 82 km of trails with 10 group huts that sleep from 2 to 18 people.

Please note that the number of huts available varies from one season to another.

Did you know that Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, a huge natural and protected area of 1,510 km2 shelters:

45 mammal species

206 bird species

34 fish species

14 amphibian species

6 reptile species

6 rivers

Over 400 lakes

Moose, white-tailed deer, black bear, beaver, Eastern wolf, red fox, red squirrel and river otter are among the most common mammals here. The presence of wolves, a large predator and the emblem of the park, reflects the untamed nature of the area, its immensity and the abundance of prey. The most characteristic birds of the park highlight its forest character and the importance of the river system: Common Merganser, Common Loon, Great Blue Heron, a variety of woodpecker species, flycatchers, thrushes and Preacher Birds, along with over 20 species of warblers. The introduction of live bait fish by anglers and the experimental seeding of the 1950s explain the presence of over 30 fish species. Speckled trout and the northern pike, two native species, always make anglers very happy. The songs of American toads, spring peepers, green frogs and northern frogs are familiar sounds. The garter snake is the only reptile seen on a regular basis and we are always on the lookout for the egg-laying sites of the three turtle species.

As for plant and animal life, rare species and those sensitive to human presence are being monitored. These species remind us of the importance of working hard to protect biodiversity and the development of this park, which we invite you to visit year-round.

To help you appreciate this wealth of nature, our park warden-naturalists offer many discovery activities on plant and animal life. See the program.
